A World War One sculpture in Dublin's St Stephen's Green has been vandalised with red paint.
The Haunting Soldier has been vandalised with red paint this morning.
‘The Haunting Soldier’ statue represents a soldier returning from war and the six-metre-high installation, which is made from pieces of metal, was installed earlier this month to mark the centenary celebrations of the end of World War One.
It is due to remain on display until later in the month.

In the early hours of this morning at 2am, red paint was thrown over it.
Gardai say they are investigating the criminal damage caused to the installation and are at the scene this morning which has been sealed off.
No arrests have been made so far.
